low-end Aeron (do they exist?) Some of my coworkers saw an ad on Craigslist for a recording studio that was going out of business. They were selling everything, from mixing boards and microphones to computers and Aeron chairs. They got genuine Aeron chairs for about $250 each. Try looking on Craigslist or in the Pennysaver for going out of business type sales.
>I'll actually even go to my school's computer lab for extended periods of time if I have a lot of work to do since their chairs are so comfortable to sit in while working. So what kind of chairs do they have? School labs aren't known for having Aerons.
If you have tried the Aeron and it is working for you then my advice is... buy an Aeron. Why are you trying to save nickels and dimes on a problem that is interfering with your work? You will spend more time searching and auditioning an alternative chair -- which will end up costing plenty, itself -- than the money you save will be worth. My Aeron is nearly ten years old. A new Aeron costs $850 up front from Amazon;…
However, the 12-year warranty is only for structural parts. If I recall correctly, the mesh had only a 5-year warranty.

Also, search nearby cities/regions. I had to drive an hour or so for mine, but it was worth it.

Since you own an Aeron, what is the difference between sizes (i.e. A, B, C keep cropping up)
The difference I notice is the height, and perhaps the size of the seat back, but there may be other differences as well.
I did learn the secret for figuring out an Aeron's size: Under the edge of the back of the seat, stamped into the plastic, are one or more raised dots, like Braille. The one with three dots is a C. The one with two dots is too small for me, and I've never encountered a single dot.

If anything, the chair is worth it because of the warranty - imagine buying a 100$ POS chair every year and compare it with the cost of an Aeron over 12 years (at least twelve, but it's likely to last more). However, the 12-year warranty is only for structural parts. If I recall correctly, the mesh had only a 5-year warranty.
